For the first time ever, Canada is getting a live wrestling war! This would be much bigger news to me personally if we were living in 2001 instead of 2021, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t historically significant if you’re a Canadian wrestling fan. And I suppose if you’re still a crazy person who tries …

Be Our Guest, But Only If You Wear A Mask
If somehow you’re still on the fence about this mask thing, maybe Beauty and the Beast will help. I haven’t heard or thought about this song in ages, but I’m having some serious flashbacks right now. My sister used to watch this movie at least once a day. Good to see it can be used …

Goodbye TSN 1150, Hello BNN Bloomberg Radio
As of Today, Bell has decided that 1150 CKOC will be going from a sports radio station they hardly did anything with and that nobody really paid attention to to a business radio station that they’ll hardly do anything with and that even fewer people will pay attention to. HAMILTON, Ont. (February 9, 2021) – …

Best News Bloopers Of April 2020
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrDDCY7AzgA These are from the era when we started seeing more and more people broadcasting from home, so unexpected run-ins by pets and youngsters are plentiful. It’s not the funniest blooper compilation I’ve ever seen, but it still has its moments. I particularly enjoyed the little kid playing outside and talking about the weather, the …
The Best News Bloopers Of 2019
Rather than dwelling on what year it was when Steve finally got around to digging up 2019’s news bloopers, why not just toss some wet meat in your burrito bowl whatever that is, and celebrate the happy occasion that is the 80th birthday of the fabulous E. Norma…wait, what? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3i7aObzNGuI
I Can’t Drink Lies!
Simply Orange’s slogan is blatantly dishonest. Ok, so a lot of things about orange juice Simply Orange included are blatantly dishonest, but for now we’ll stick with the damn slogan. “What happens in the orange stays in the orange.” Oh really, fools? Your product is orange juice. Orange juice, the very existence of which is …
All Of The Business COVID Commercials AT Once
I realized that everybody’s “in these uncertain times, we’re still here for you, we’re all in this together” ads were pretty much the same, but it’s sort of amazing just how similar they truly are. Corporate Covid-19 response videos are eerily similar. *Cue somber piano music* When a company or brand releases a Coronavirus Response …

badmouth Me And My Friends One More Time. I Dare Ya
Unless you’re seriously interested in Chicago transit and its troubles with pigeons treating parts of it the way pigeons treat pretty much everything, you’re only going to need the first minute or so of this video. That’s where the magic happens. Talk about dumb luck during a Morning Insiders interview – near a very busy …

The One With The Minor-key Theme Song
I got far more enjoyment out of this than I ever have from an episode of friends, so nice work. Here’s what it’s supposed to sound like, although I might now argue that we’ve already heard what it’s supposed to sound like. And while I’m here, “Johnny Have You Seen Her”, the song the Rembrandts …
We Now Go Live To A Dead Guy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=be9mHcfnLF8 Talking live into a microphone is hard. I spent a few years doing it myself, so I can sympathize when somebody messes up. And I think Sara Welch here could use some of that sympathy right now, because this one’s not going to be easy to live down. A reporter has been left red-faced …
